Patent GB-190821558-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for Testing the Strength and Elasticity of Threads, Wires, Strips and so forth from Materials of every description.
Inventor: ZEDLITZ FERDINAND
Filed: 1908-10-12
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 21,558. Zedlitz, F. Oct. 12. Testing threads, wires, &c.-In an apparatus for testing threads, wires, &c., somewhat similar to that described in Specification No. 8619, A.D. 1908, the two-armed balance-beam or lever, which may be of the form of a wheel, disk, or the like, is itself locked by a pawl at the moment of the breaking of the thread or the like undergoing test, while a valve in the liquid-supply pipe is simultaneously closed and the supply of liquid cut off. The apparatus illustrated is particularly designed for testing yarns. The balance-beam 2, Fig. 1, pivoted at 3 and provided with an adjustable counterpoise 10 and with means 11, 12 for accurate adjustment, carries at its opposite ends the graduated vessel 5 and a heavy pawl 14 to one end of which is attached the thread 26 to be tested. The other end of the thread is attached to a spring- controlled arm 31 connected to the plug of a valve 24 fitted in the supply pipe 21, 19, 23, 23' provided with a flexible connexion 22. The frame 1 is provided with a plumb-line 33 and a set screw 34, to ensure the accurate hanging of the apparatus. The thread 26 being adjusted so that the pawl 14 is disengaged from the fixed graduated rack 17 and so that the plug of the valve 24 is raised, a tap 35 from a supply tank 20 is opened, and liquid flows into the graduated vessel 5. The extension of the thread due to the gradually increasing load allows the pointer 16 and the pawl 14 to move along the graduated rack 17, until, at the moment of rupture, the pawl engages the rack and the beam 2 is arrested. The pointer 16 then indicates the strain, while the quantity of liquid in the graduated vessel gives the stress. The stress may, of course, be obtained by measuring the quantity of liquid discharged from the supply tank. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, in which the two-armed lever is in the form of a wheel 2', the rupture of the thread 26 closes a valve 24<1> in the supply tank 20 and also causes a pawl 4<1> to engage with a graduated ratchet-wheel 17<1> directly connected to the wheel 2<1>, while a fixed pointer 16<1> indicates the strain. Recording-apparatus may be provided ; this consists, as shown, of a float 37, in the supply tank 20, adapted to rotate a record-drum 38, bearing a table of data, to an extent proportional to the stress applied. The counterpoise 10 for the graduated vessel 5 is provided with a recording- style, which is, of course, moved vertically to an extent corresponding to the strain produced. Similar recording - apparatus may be fitted to apparatus having a balance-beam.

Title: Improvements relating to Speed Gear specially applicable to Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: GRIFFIN HUBERT CHARLES
Filed: 1908-11-17
Granted: 1909-11-17
Abstract: 24,729. Griffen, H. C., and Ware, C. S. Nov. 17. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to variable-speed gearing of the class comprising a pair of friction clutches operated by a sliding double - wedge member. The driving-shaft a is formed with longitudinal recesses h for the reception of sliding double-ended wedges g. Friction blocks i, i<1> reside also in the recesses h and are adapted to be thrust outwards into driving-engagement with transmission members c', g<1> when the wedges g are thrust to the left or right respectively. The blocks i, i<1> are kept from moving longitudinally by lateral projections resting in recesses h<1> adjoining the recesses h. The wedges q are connected to a ring k upon which is mounted the boss t of an operating-lever j. Cam teeth l upon the boss t coact with similar teeth upon a fixed bearing-ring j<1>. A pivotal movement of the lever j effects the sliding movement of the wedges g required to operate the clutches. The invention is shown applied in a two-speed gear, suitable for motorcycles, of the type described in Specification No. 12,425. A.D. 1907. The shaft a is a hollow extension fitted to the engine shaft a<3>. The gear is arranged to effect a direct drive through the blocks i to the belt pulley c, and an indirect slowspeed drive through the blocks i<1>, a countershaft r, chain &c. gearing, and a ratchet clutch v. The pulley c may be of the expanding type with a screwing flange d locked in required positions by a spring bolt d<1>.

Title: Method and Apparatus for Fastening the Indicator Cords to, and Unfastening them from, the Rods of Indicators on Steam Engines, Explosion-motors and the like.
Inventor: BOVEN LODEWYK BENEDIT VAN

Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 27,459. Boven, L. B. van. Dec. 17. Couplings for ropes, cords, &c.- Theactuating-cords for the diagramcarrying drums of steam - engine and like indicators are connected to the rods receiving motion from some part of the engine by means of the disconnectible fastening shown. The cord is attached to a ring k fixed to a rod j, on which is mounted a spring-controlled sliding piece g of conical shape. The lower ends of a pair of levers b, which are normally pressed inwards by spring- controlled plungers d, are provided with hooks engaging a shoulder formed on the end of the rod y. When the pressure of the spring h is overcome by a pressure applied to the piece g in the proper direction, the bevelled edge of the piece g engages the upper ends of the levers b and thus disengages their lower hooked ends from the rod y which is, moreover, expelled by the pressure of the spring- controlled plunger l. The connexion between the cord and the rod is made or broken while the engine is in motion.

Granted: 1910-09-22
Abstract: 24,746. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Oct. 28. Weft - replenishing mechanism.- Substantial exhaustion of weft is detected by a feeler comprising a spindle 11, Fig. 3, provided with a head 16 having a toothed portion 16<1> for engaging the weft 7 on the bobbin &c., a second toothed head 18 being mounted loosely within the head 16 and being retained therein by a pin 17 engaging an annular groove on the head 18. The spindle 11 has a pin extending into a cam-shaped slot 9<2> on a sleeve 9, which is normally pressed outwards by a spring 14. The sleeve is slidably mounted in a tube 8, which has a set-screw extending into an elongated opening in the sleeve 9. The inner head 18 extends somewhat in front of the head 16, and normally depresses the weft immediately in front of it on-the bobbin, but the remaining weft engages the head 16 and prevents the rotation thereof, so that, during the beat-up, the spindle 11 is moved backwards and moves the sleeve 9 also backwards against the action of the spring 14. If the weft is substantially exhausted, it engages the inner head, but not the outer head, which is therefore free to rotate, the pin 11<1> moving in the slot 9<2> and thus causing the spindle 11 to rotate and raise a hook lever 13 into the path of a bar 19, whereby the replenishing-mechanism is operated. In a modification, the pointed end 11<2>, Fig. 9, of the spindle 11 directly contacts with, and depresses, the weft, and needle points 20<a> secured to a cone-shaped washer 21<a> by a ring 22<a> normally enter and engage the weft. The washer is adjustably secured on the threaded end of the spindle 11 by a nut 15<a>. The bar 19 is pivoted in known manner to a lever operated from a link by cam-actuated lever mechanism, the pivot of the lever being moved in a slot in a plate against spring action when the free movement of the lever 19 is prevented. This pivot is connected by lever mechanism to the transferrer mechanism.
